These Irish girls who became "Dammed Whores and God's Police" according to the police in Australia in the early days, make me look at their faces with admiration. I see no shrinking voilets here but women brave and honourable and sure enough of themselves to face that damn camera with the pride of bloodlines lost to time.

It was these women who protected and made sure the children were loved, protected and educated.

Lest we all forget in our Yuppie Universe.
